Why can't I fart at will?

By stile haus

Farting, or flatulence, is caused when enzymes and bacteria in the digestive system break down carbohydrates and proteins in the food. Gas is a product of these chemical processes that take place. It is a natural bodily function, and therefore diffacult to readily control.
